“yeah, come on.” He said grabbing my hand. He guided me through the house up the stairs and to his bedroom. He shut the door behind us.
“thank you.” I said. I looked around the room. I couldn’t believe I was alone with nate in his bedroom. He went and lay down on his bed.
“come sit down” he said smiling and patting the bed beside him. I walked over and sat at the foot of his bed. He sat up and moved beside me. “you look nice tonight”
“thanks” I smiled.
“ive always liked your hair curled though better” he said brushing my hair behind my ear.
“alice did it” I laughed.
“ah gotcha” he giggled. “But if were you, I wouldn’t take advice from her. you’re much prettier and better of a person than her anywayI smiled at him. I forgot for a second there were tons of drunken and high teens downstairs.
“you can go back to the party if you want, don’t let me keep you”
“no,” he said scooting closer and putting his hand on my leg. “I want to stay here with you.”
“really, nate, im fine. Go back to the party” I said shaking him off of my leg and standing up.
He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me back on the bed. I shoved him and we started play wrestling on the bed. We were rolling around and we were face to face. His eyes locked with mine. He grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me in. I couldn’t believe I was about to kiss Nate. Our lips were inching closer and closer together. Our noses rubbed against each other and I could feel the warmth of his breath.
Knock knock knock.
“DUDE, OPEN UP!” someone interrupted the almost kiss.
“seriously!?!” Nate yelled. Sitting up and getting off the bed. He stumbled over to the door. And swung it open. “what do you- oh brax , hey man.” I oculd hear Nates voice shake.
“what is going on here?” brax said glancing over at me still sitting on the bed.
“nothing, we were just talking, right bree?” Nate said looking back at me. Brax was staring me down. I mean I get it. I was about to have a full out make out session with his best friend.
“right, some perv tried hitting on me, and Nate saved me. I wanted to get away from the party so he brought me up here.” I said avoiding eye contact with both of them. “im going to go back down stairs.” I got up and awkwardly walked past them. As I was walking away I heard Nate tell my brother he would never ‘fuck me’ because it would be like sleeping with a little kid. Ouch. It’s not like that didn’t hurt at all.
I got back downstairs and looked around for the barbies. Claire was passed out in the corner. Stella was making out with some guy on the couch. Cailin was flirting with a group of guys. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to find Alice.
“you having fun?” she asked me. I could smell alcohol on her breath but she kept her composer. The whole classy thing.
“I guess.” I said.
“Wait, were you upstairs with some guy? Omg bree. Way to go girl. Youre looking to have more Barbie potential than I thought!” she said with a huge grin on her face. Nate and I didn’t do anything besides have a wrestling match, but its not like she has to know the details.
“actually yes I was.” I told her without making eye contact.
“well, who was it? What happened? How far?” she spat a billion questions at me.
“like im going to tell you.” I said as Nate and brax were walking down the stairs past us. Nate smiled at me and I smiled back.
“ohemgee.! Was it Nate!?!” she asked.
“mmaaayybbbeee” I giggled.
“ugh I hate you!” she pushed me laughing.
Brax walked up to me. “Bree, im leaving, why don’t you come home with me.” He said. I was bored here anyways.
“sure” I said. The ride home with him was awkward. Mostly cause he believed Nate and I just had sex. We pulled in the drive way and he put the car in park. “brax?”
“what?” he said not looking at me.
“nothing happened, you know?”I told him.
“I don’t care.” he said getting out of the car. He did care. And I felt really bad. The loser bree would care, but the Barbie bree wouldn’t. So I just forgot about it.
